Sharing a DVD drive on my Sony laptop over a wireless network

I have Sony laptop FZ31Z (DLNA compliant) with a DVD/Blue Ray drive.
I have a Wireless network, which has Netgear router + 2 Netgear bridges(WNHDE111). (One brideg connected to the router and the second bridge is connected to a Sony Bravia ethernet port.)
I want to play DVD movies playing on my laptop over the network and display it on the Bravia TV.
I have shared all folders(including the DVD drive), but on the Bravia TV I can only see plain file and storage folders mapped, but no DVD drives !!
Can someone help as to how I can achieve this?

When you shared the DVD drive did you give full access to "Everyone"?
I just shared a dvd drive on a Vista machine with a Windows 7 machine
and an Ubuntu box. I can see the files on the dvd, but neither will play
the vob files.

First, (depending on what OS your using) your windows media player has to be setup to broadcast as a media server. However, I don't think your TV is going to see it. I have a PS3 that see's the media server and I can stream all my movies.
